I saw Hidden Figures (2016) for the first time last night, I've got to admit, I liked it. What movies are you watching PolitcalForum?
I watched Mullholland Drive (2001) for the first time yesterday. Complete mind-f**k; did not understand anything, but I think it was good.
If you're talking about in the theater, then it was Wonder Woman last week. On Netflix it was Captain America: Civil War last night.
The Galindez File trailer: review: https://www.screendaily.com/the-galindez-file-el-misterio-galindez/4015138.article Definitely an eye opening thriller though it may not interest a great many Americans. It deals with the terrorist actions of the CIA in collaboration with the FBI. The movie serves as expose' but does not offer solutions to end this type of terrorism which is disregarded so often by American right wingers.
I would bet a month's pay that righties tend to like movies with violence. And lefties like movies with human interest themes. As for Independents, we have good taste. The Host. The plot was a real stretch but it was worth the watch.
I love violence, comedies, and dramas such as the God Father among others. It would make sense that the wimpy left wouldn't like the violent movies. Those are for men Last movie I saw was Hacksaw Ridge
Last year I decided to 'get around' to watching movies that I hadn't seen yet but have been out for years; I saw The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Malcolm X (1992)... Last week it dawned on me; I haven't actually seen more than 5 minutes of Wagons East (1994), and this was back in the 1990's. - So I watched it; enjoyed it.... I enjoyed it because I saw The Doctor from Star Trek Voyager and Doctor Cox from Scrubs (two pleasant surprises for me); John Candy ended up being a little bonus in that movie... Then a few nights later, I saw a movie I hadn't even heard of, but liked it from a YouTube video about top 5 mind bending movies, and I liked it, Robot & Frank (2012). That whole Wagons East (1994) phase, lead me to YouTube John Candy and even look up Siskel & Ebert and see what they had to say about Wagons East (1994) - Couldn't find anything on it, but it dawned on me, I maybe have seen about 5 minutes of Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) when they get pulled over driving that wreck without a speedometer ... But then know one gag and once scene from an entire movie because I've seen it once by chance isn't the same as watching a movie... So I finally watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) - It was okay, I guess... - It's no Powwow Highway(1989) (a movie I first heard of earlier this year when I saw an old 2012 programme Rich Hall did with the BBC called Rich Hall's Inventing The Indian (2012) and liked the clip from it, so I watched it, and I liked it - Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) is no Powwow Highway (1989). Then after, on another night, I started watching Seven (1995) because I had heard of it, but I hadn't yet seen it, and it was getting old. I had no particular desire to watch it, other than I haven't seen it yet (who knows, could be missing out on whatever culturally for not watching it) - I actually fell asleep the first night I watched it... and a couple of nights light, like the next or another night last week, I saw it/continued where I left, sort of fell asleep again at the end of it, I must have drifted off close to the end and I woke up at the end... So the next day... I let it play from when I last remember them being, and then saw it (and saw scenes I must have missed) and saw that I wasn't asleep too long but long enough to miss what the ending was about.... So whatever, I can saw I've seen Seven (1995) now. Then after, the night before last, I saw a movie I have wanted to watch, but hadn't yet; Face/Off (1997)... I liked it, glad I finally saw it. Last night, I saw a movie I haven't actually seen before, but I've heard of, and have seen mentioned in TV shows and whatever, so I decided that it was culturally important that I watch this groundbreaking movie, and be in on the reference too - I've finally seen that movie Caddyshack (1980). I watched it expecting it to be a family movie, I'm glad it wasn't; I liked it. - and I saw some more references in this movie from TV shows that referenced it but didn't directly say at the time, and was just an in joke for fans of the movie; That was enlightening. Then tonight, by chance, by sheer chance in my Siskel & Ebert random fandom as of late... I saw their review which I written off as them not having done one, of Wagons East (1994) in this video just before posting this post tonight. That's funny. Sort of like coming full circle and having gained for it. Cool. - All because of Wagons East (1994).
I also saw The Tuxedo (2002) earlier this year, because I hadn't watched it before, and I remember wanting to watch it when it came out... I didn't like it... I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it. It wasn't like Face/Off (1997) where I actually wanted to watch it at some point, The Tuxedo (2002) was just a footnote movie, and not on my watch list, but hit my radar when it came out and I saw ads for it.
I've just seen Inception (2010) for the first time and I'm already having it explained to me on YouTube (I didn't know if he was in a dream in the end). I started watching it last night; fell asleep watching it/picked up where I left off tonight; now I've seen it.
Wimpy left eh? Then why am I Quentin Tarantino's biggest fan? Last Movie I watched was Hateful Eight, for about the fourth time. That's what I like about Tarantino movies, they bear rewatching. Hateful Eight had several gruesome shootings, two agonized poisonings, and a slow hanging at the end. My kinda movie. An explanation of a sort of landlocked Marie Celeste mystery in the final analysis.
Watched Passangers and didn't like it at all. Of course, seeing Jennifer Lawrence is always fun though.
I don't support anti-American Hollywood Left so I no longer go to the movie theaters. I do remember watching the "Cain Mutiny" a few nights ago on cable but the book is ten times better.
Slacker (1991) Waking Life (2001) With a friend who wanted to show me these movies. My friend tried showing me Slacker before, but I wasn't into it; however, I was this week, then they showed me Waking Life (2001) by the same director, and this one I had heard of and had been meaning to watch. We saw them both.
